Mumbai: Mumbai Monorail services were stopped for hours this morning after two coaches caught fire in the early hours of Thursday morning. 
No injuries or casualties have been reported as there were no passengers at that time. Images showed one of the coaches completely destroyed in the fire.

Reports suggest around 5.30 am, the fire started on a regular local service to the Wadala station. Officials suspect a short-circuit might have caused it.
